The problem was not that he was having affairs. The problem wasn’t even that he got got by a spy.

The problem was that he was having affairs with employees who reported to him. That by itself is disqualifying, and then possibly he lied about the board to it?

Anyone who was passed up for promotion now has a credible lawsuit

And even more so, anyone who was dismissed for an inappropriate relationship, if he's brought back.

No, the problem was that he was a willing participant in a conspiracy to illegally sell Nvidia Blackwell chips to the Chinese.

Do the numbers. Let's say 5 people sue and are awarded 10 million each. Or even 50 million each.

So NVIDIA rules are...

  - Avoid actual or potential conflicts between personal interests and their obligations to Nvidia.
  - Remove themselves from decision-making when such conflicts arise.
  - Contact Employment Legal when there is a perceived or actual conflict.


Do you know if these were followed or not? do you know he lied? It feels everything is "maybe this, maybe that" with no actual substance.

I will be glib/shitposty about this...

Given Jensen is one of the two founders that still has stock (the other being Chris Malachowsky) I suppose there could be some room for interpretation.

Reading through your acceptance of the scenario prior to knowing all of the details (he could be in front of a jury in the near future) I, personally, think it's a pretty flippant way to dismiss his actions. Rules are in place for a reason. As others have said Jensen showed extremely poor decision making capabilities in situations where he chose to take advantage. That appears to be fact. Beyond that all of the facts are not fully known... But to pretend like nothing happened and it's OK to "interpret" your way out of this. C'mon... Standards have really fucking flown the coop when you have random Internet personalities trying to defend a billionaire who couldn't keep his dick in his pants and likely broke national security interests because of that. FFS.

I just care about ACTUAL wrong doing. I don't care about the affairs, people have them at all levels from billionaires to paupers. I think action is only warranted once we move beyond "likely" "maybe" "could have" "possibly". C'mon, where's your standards of evidence flown to?

Most people here can read. You clearly haven't taken any time to do that. You're just, clearly, more concerned you get your NVDA stock back to a comfy price.

To speed run most of what's out there spend a few minutes trying to understand the issue [0]. You think MegaSpeed is on the up and up? Doubtful.

so, personal attacks rather than evidence? I'm sure there's a fallacy that covers this...
Re:Nvidia employees petition to bring back Jensen Huang by windexh8er on Friday November 13, 2026 @08:06AM (#50482961)
I love the recent trope of "prove it to me by spoon feeding me evidence and I still won't believe it". There's a couple things here...

1) You don't believe that lying (and lying to the board no less) is a character flaw that could impede someone from a high level position in a multi-billion dollar multi-national company. That, right there, is enough for most people to dismiss your judgement.

2) If you read, any of the articles out there, about how MegaSpeed was formed and how they operate your realize that it's probably a shell company, at minimum. At maximum it's a shell company for CCP.

3) Finally, a mixture of these things were reported in the Culper Research report back in May of this year [0].

I'm sure the response will be "this proves nothing!". Sure, you're 100% right. But if you think all of this was deep state made up psy ops, well then, maybe go touch some grass.

8 November after the first affair came out the board still had his back. Then the second affair came out and they kicked him out. What most likely happens is they asked him if there was more dirt and he probably said no. Then it turned that was a lie.

So this probably isn't about the affairs but a breach of trust with the board.

If people could keep their dicks in their pants, we would be over as a species.

But sure, tell me again that everyone needs to have perfect control over all their most powerful urges to keep their jobs?

Guess you’re not fat, never fucked anyone you shouldn’t have, and definitely never drank more you should have at any point?
